“What?”
“Everything”
Indeed it does. Everything also leaves as a wave. Life is a dance of patterns and the game is to comfortably bob along at the frequency of your being.
Rest is crucial for flow. As a creative individual there are little more valuable states to me than being in a state of flow.
I have to put myself in “timeout” as a part of my earthly maintenance. I enjoy it, even if I have a tinge of fomo. Once everything is complete, I can get to that state. I can't get there if there are things left undone. Once everything that I've perceived as necessary is done, I can truly feel at rest and then bam, I'm in flow.
Now I know that we are truly never going to get “everything” done, but for me everything defined as the general base that it takes for me to maintain: exercise, sleep, nutritious food, to do lists, and a clean apartment.
The creative process is a dance of energy and only through clearing energy can you welcome new energy in.
If this sounds too “woo woo” for you then just try it in a very real world way: the next time you are feeling overwhelmed, make time to clean your desk/apartment/car/life. Our inner worlds are inextricably tied to our outer worlds, it's rare that someone lives in chaos and mess and is not a little bit chaotic on the inside.
I do have the luxury and know-how to take care of myself in ways that foster internal peace, and so that's what I do.
Anyways, I made baked feta with tomatoes tonight and it was delicious.
